People who protect the sea
At Marilles we are very clear that in order to guarantee the future of protected marine areas, they must be desired and not imposed.

Currently, 1.7% of the Balearic Sea is highly protected, and at the Marilles Foundation we are working to reach 10% by 2030 through the Balearic Blue Deal.

The sea gives us everything: fish, recreation, climate regulation, biodiversity, health, education, etc.

More marine protected areas
